In the clip, a large hedgehog is wandering by the river when it is suddenly ambushed by lions.

A large hedgehog was wandering by the river bank and suddenly came across a herd of lions.

Immediately the predators surrounded the hedgehog and tried to attack it. However, things have not been easy.

With the advantage of the sharp spikes on its back, the lone hedgehog still confidently fights and even repels the lions. A few minutes later, realizing that this was a difficult prey, the lions gave up and left shortly after.

In the wild, adult porcupines are also the target of lion attacks. With its back covered with sharp spikes, the hedgehog knows how to defend itself.

It erected its spikes, made a loud rubbing sound, gritted its teeth, and crawled across. It also swings its spiky 25cm-long tail at its enemies, ready to injure or even kill lions.
